[sword-devel] Question regarding special markup in Psalms and SWModule::stripText

[David Haslam]

Hi Tobias,

GBF is an old Bible markup format.
We now don’t accept it for new modules.

Have you found an authentic online source text?

Can you obtain a better one direct from the GBS ?

CrossWire doesn’t normally rebuild a module from text exported from a module.

In this case, that would only be a last resort.

Three steps:
1. mod2imp GerSch 1>filename.txt
2. Repair versification for Psalms
3. Imp2vs to rebuild the module.

At a guess, the Luther v11n might be suitable.

And in this rare case we’d probably not lose any content.

Aside: Which front-end doesn’t render these tags ?
